Chickpeas can be introduced to babies between the age of 8-10 months, as introducing them earlier may cause gas in some babies. When you start chickpeas for babies, give well-cooked squashed chickpeas as finger food or chickpeas puree. Once the baby is adjusted, you can move to this mashed chickpeas with vegetables. It has a mild taste and suits little ones' taste buds.
